Re: Leaving Early

Back in 2006, my brother took my son (age 5 at the time) on to the Preston game cos I couldn't make it. Went 1-2 down in the 80th minute and my brother decided it was time to go and dragged my lad with him. They heard the equaliser go in just as they got to the car and the winner went in just as the...

If all their efforts are going into the Super Box then they are failing miserably. Had the displeasure of experiencing it on Saturday and it was a massive let down despite the ticket price of £600 (no, I didn't pay for it and I don't think that can be the actual price of a ticket in there).
